A Hidden African Gem Worth Discovering

I recently visited this incredible African restaurant, and I’m still thinking about the experience!

We also had the red snapper and the sauce on top of the fish was so flavorful!! Left their stuffed but had to grab a couple of their drinks the hibiscus and tamarindo were refreshing. Thank you for the great service and experience of...
